Cornish Cream Tea

Sunday, August 31, 2008

AJ is studying Kentucky history in the 4th grade and requested a visit to Frankfort, our state capital. We had a free day on Saturday and drove to Frankfort. The photo above is the front entrance of the Capitol. The building is a neoclassical Beaux Arts style built 1905 - 1910. The exterior is made of limestone.Abraham Lincoln was born near Hodgenville, KY in 1809. This statue stands in the center of the rotunda. The rotunda floor is made of several kinds of marble. This is spectacular view across the interior of the building. The 36 one piece columns are made of granite. AJ appears to be ready to enter the governor's office! The beautiful view looking out the front door of the Capitol. More to come including a lunch at a Frankfort tea room!

A Cup of Tea

When the world is all at odds And the mind is all at sea Then cease the useless tedium And brew a cup of tea. There is magic in its' fragrance, There is solace in its' taste; And then laden moments vanish Somehow into space. And the world becomes a lovely thing! There's beauty as you'll see; All because you briefly stopped To brew a cup of tea.~ Source unknown
